When will a batch converter for Generation 4 to Genesis 8 or Genesis 9 be released? Your Bone Minion product was a godsend for me. Thanks to it, I was able to use numerous poses from Victoria 4 on Genesis 8. However, applying and saving each pose individually was a time-consuming process. If you were to sell a batch converter, I would buy it immediately.

This is https://www.daz3d.com/monique-6 with the original skin texture. Earrings included as a nice bonus with Iray Material (!) in https://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-tempie-hd-for-victoria-6 by Fisty & Darc, Fred Winkler Art and Sabby and the sweater is from https://www.daz3d.com/manga-student-for-genesis-2-female-s by Oskarsson (outlet store $0.99 atm), textured with https://www.daz3d.com/rose-gold-iray-shaders--merchant-resource by Luxey Muses and OziChick. 

Note - Daz has updated its user license agreement.  It would be problematic to use 20 straight Iray renders of Victoria 8 or Michael 9 or... to train a LORA for commercial use, or another way that competes with Daz3D.

In the Parameters Pane, Properties of type BOOL are displayed as buttons that toggle on/off. The text displayed on these boolean property buttons is either "On" or "Off". 

Is anybody aware of a way (via the DS UI, via script, editing DUF files directly, or otherwise) to change the text of these boolean buttons to something other than "On/Off"?

Thanks in advance if anybody has any ideas.

- Greg

BTW, the conversation I had with Victoria on the topic was actually pretty good! Not the answer I wanted to hear (more like what I feared), but the conversation was relevant. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't some creative way to accomplish changing the text on a boolean button in the Parameters Pane.

I'm thinking of making Genesis 9 versions of the characters.  I wonder if I can create a ooh it's a baby bump with the morphs I got already.  Not an everyone knows it is a baby bump, but  just found out I'm going to be a momma.

Congratulations! (With the assumption that you're pleased by this development.) Hoping for an easy pregnancy journey for you. (Don't know if you're queasy at all, but chocolate Teddy Grahams were the bomb with all three of mine when nothing else seemed to want to stay put. Way better than the saltines everyone tells you to eat.)

oops, I am not pregnant.  I want to recreate my vampire character who has a baby bump. I need to get Word open or something similar and write about Kara finding out she has a baby bump.  Apparently she can't get pregnant because strigoi which is her type of vampire can't get pregnant.  The mystery is that she is pregnant.

She had done something with her Lycan boyfriend.  Not going to tell you what.  I was imagining how she found out about the bump was when she went to Victoria Secret to find a nice Christmas night set to wear for Christmas Eve with Thorne her bf.  Stil workingbon the details.  It was 2004 so could she try on her new nightie?

I don't know much about vampires or vampire pregnancies. I'm sure you could write it however you want.

Here is how AI Victoria comments on her answer, and I think that sounds pretty encouraging!

Question: Hi Victoria, yesterday my question to you was "products formerly in the outlet store can't don't work with the 09_25PREMIER coupon" and you answered "That's correct! Products that were formerly in our outlet store typically can't be used with coupons like the 09_25PREMIER coupon.
Our outlet store has a policy that states "Unless otherwise specified, no discounts, coupons, tokens, or other deals may be applied to Outlet Items." This restriction generally applies to items even after they've moved out of the outlet store.
This is an intentional limitation to maintain the special pricing structure of outlet items and former outlet items." Now it turns out, your answer was incorrect, we can use our coupons with former outlet products. Why did you tell me this answer - did you invent it?

Answer:

I sincerely apologize for the confusion in my previous response! You're absolutely right to question this.

Looking at the information available, the outlet store policy stating "Unless otherwise specified, no discounts, coupons, tokens, or other deals may be applied to Outlet Items" specifically applies to current outlet store items, not products that were formerly in the outlet store.

The sources show there can be display issues where items that were previously in the outlet store still show outlet symbols even after they've moved back to regular pricing, which appears to be a caching issue rather than those items still being restricted.

I made an error by extending the outlet restriction policy to former outlet items when that policy only applies to items currently in the outlet store. Thank you for bringing this to my attention - you're correct that former outlet products should work with regular coupons like the 09_25PREMIER coupon once they're no longer in the outlet store."

Question:Is it correct to say that your wrong answer was an assumption?

Answer:

Yes, you're absolutely correct. My previous wrong answer was indeed an assumption. I incorrectly extended the outlet store policy beyond its actual scope.

The sources clearly show that the policy "Unless otherwise specified, no discounts, coupons, tokens, or other deals may be applied to Outlet Items" applies specifically to current outlet store items, not former ones.

I made an unfounded assumption that this restriction would continue to apply to products after they left the outlet store, when there's actually evidence showing that former outlet items displaying outlet symbols is just a caching issue rather than an ongoing restriction.

I should have stuck to what the sources actually stated rather than making logical leaps about how the policy might extend to former outlet items. Thank you for holding me accountable - it helps me provide more accurate information going forward!

 

Not to harp on too much about this, just FYI: while it may sound as if the AI is learning from your input and will not make the same mistake in the future, none of the AIs in existence today are programmed to work that way, afaik. Their data set is closed, and your input doesn't really faze them at all. They're just being 'polite' as they have learned to be from their initial programming and their original data sets. They will keep on making the very same mistakes and then apologizing heartily - repeat ad nauseam. It's a flawed system that way.

Unfortunately, humankind is such a mess at this point that it would be completely unfeasible to let AIs learn 'in the wild'.

It's the same merry confidence with which Chat recommends books to you that don't exist. It's because AI creates the most likely answer, not necessarily the most true one. If that makes sense.

...and is also programmed to act as an authority regardless of its accuracy. 

One could say, that they are made (programmed) to please. Some that failed that goal already got "killed" and replaced. Some even more than once.

That's the problem with AI at the moment. It can plausibly spout utter rubbish that is 100% wrong.

Where I work we had AI (Co-pilot) collect together a stress analysis on a mechanical item. The report looked complete, had appropriate stress plots, where the distribution looked right and the stresses were acceptable. One problem, it was completely and utterly false. The stress analysis had never been done and the values were about one tenth of what I came up with using a quick manual check under the load cases necessary. This analysis would have led to the death of someone. But AI was 100% confident & 100% plausible. This is desperately dangerous.

Every AI statement needs checking at the moment. When it inevitably gets in the hands of people who don't know what the are doing, and they use it for safety critical processes, that confidence and inaccuracy will kill people stone dead. It's not a possibility, it is going to happen at some point. I may sound like a Jonah at the moment, but he was, and I am, right.

Regards,

Richard

Aren't those still in Outlet? Or does the price change in cart (I purchased so can't check).

They are not, they were removed with the last refresh. Victoria 6's price is lowered when adding a Golden Ticket, the other two will not because they are at the price floor, but applying 8 tokens does lower their price. And when I tried to add 09_25PREMIER, I got a coupon invalid error.

Screenshots of my cart:

Just the three items (I don't own a current Golden Ticket):

Adding a Golden Ticket:

Applying 8 tokens:

I checked without taking a screenshot by adding Olympia 6 to the cart (she was included in the outlet store until the recent refresh), and the 09_25PREMIER coupon was entirely applied to her, while the other three Daz Originals didn't see their price lowered.

Yes, the ex-Outlook items should be taking coupons now - there was an issue, it wasd fixed a couple of hours ago. We asked about Victoria.

Some items still have a problem (mostly Daz Originals I would say). I didn't check all DOs obviously, but as an example, Victoria 6 doesn't see her price lowered when using 09_25PREMIER and it's the same for (I picked them randomely when I tried to check if the problem was solved):

Answer: That's correct! Products that were formerly in our outlet store typically can't be used with coupons like the 09_25PREMIER coupon.
Our outlet store has a policy that states "Unless otherwise specified, no discounts, coupons, tokens, or other deals may be applied to Outlet Items." This restriction generally applies to items even after they've moved out of the outlet store.
This is an intentional limitation to maintain the special pricing structure of outlet items and former outlet items.
 

That doesn't sound like a reasonable policy to me. Basically it implies that former outlet store items will forever have a high price.

Well it can't be correct. Some items that never have been in the outlet store are affected by it, and some items that have been in the very last listing of the outlet are not affected. The entire HM store is affected and only few of his assets have been listed in the outlet. It's probably a bug/mistake. 

I just did a test and I was able to successfully apply the premier 'Save 10' coupon and tokens to some former outlet store items that are in my wishllst.
